"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I literally just updated my CV and exported it as PDF/X. Then I remembered that a decade ago I sent someone else a PDF/X document and they were annoyed that they couldn't add notes on it while reading it (because apparently Adobe Reader was stupidly designed like that, can't just save an editable copy - dunno, I've not used that app in forever) and wondered if recruiters would be annoyed.
But then I was like "blaaaaah, recruiters, are they even reading this stuff anymore? Were they ever reading this stuff? Probably not. Shouldn't worry about it."
(Well, some did, once in a while. A few years ago I did end up in a few group interviews in which the recruiters apparently printed out my CV. In colour. ...As I just updated my CV, I realised that I used only black plus one colour for the entire document, which means uneven toner usage. Recruiters vs Printers: No Matter Who Wins, We Lose.)
(I don't know what the hell I'm rambling about, I'm giga high on caffeine, holy shit)
